Reliance chapter 1:
Dante's POV
She was always so quiet, so calm and shy yet determined and focused and when she fought, it was quick yet elegant or as he'd prefer; stylish and beautiful.
It was a week before they had to defeat Galactus and save the Earth of both worlds, he thought he'd spend this time learning more about the gothic beauty.
They had just passed through the hand hideout and were moving on, they came across a field where they thought they'd stay and camp for the night.
"Well bubs, I guess I'll go and get some wood from that forest up there." Wolverine said as they had finished putting up their tents.
"Sure." Dante said with a hint of venom in his voice, wolvie had an edge with dante too so he thought he'd give him a taste of his own medicine. "BUT, how you gonna cut wood with no axe genius?"
Wolverine grinned menacingly and extracted his claws.
"Like this bub!" Wolverine spat and made his way towards the forest.
Dante shook his head and turned to see X-23 gone into her tent.
He sighed, he might as well get freshened up in his own tent.
He threw his red coat on his makeshift bed and took off the leather strap on his chest, he took out his guns and played with them for a little while before he started to swing it around his finger with skill and then aimed for the air, he began to fling them up and then front flip and catch them, he aimed for the tent opening and saw X-23 poking her head inside his tent with a shocked face.
"Hehe, sorry about that." Dante grinned and put his guns back on his bed.
He turned to face her but saw her turn away, he looked confused and then chuckled to himself, only to make her cringe.
"Sorry bout this, is there something I can help you with?" Dante smiled and walked towards her and grabbed a black t-shirt off the small table.
"Uhm...yeah I was wondering if you had any extra pillows?" She asked but still remained with her back at him.
"Yeah...hey you can turn around, I've got a shirt here." He smirked.
She turned around only for her to see his toned abs and muscles.
He put on his black t-shirt slowly, he was enjoying this for some reason, he wanted her to see his chiseled chest.
"Sorry about that, here ya go." He smiled warmly and grabbed a couple of his pillows and gave it to her.
"Thanks." She muttered as their hands made contact and swiftly turned and walked out.
Strange, he thought but he liked it as he changed his pants.
X-23's POV
He was really well built! She thought as she entered the sanctuary of her own tent and sunk back and hugged the pillows tight.
She mentally slapped herself and got changed into a black tank top and a blue cardigan with her jeans and pumps.
She poked her head outside the tent and looked around, she wanted to explore a little, it was rare for her to travel without being on a mission so she thought she'd see a piece the world while she was at it.
She really just wanted to discover herself and run away from her past, she walked across a field and stopped to look at the various flowers that grew there, slowly but surely her life was being restored and changing.
She smiled as she took a whiff of the pink flower that smelled sweet and crisp.
Dante's POV
Man, this journey is awesome! I met a nice girl who doesn't want to kill me! Hell she's kinda perfect.
He walked out of his tent to smell the fresh air and walked towards the spot where wolverine would light the fire, he looked to X-23's side of the camp and decided to see if she wanted to hang out.
He parted the entrance and peeked inside, no one was there, strange, he stood by the fire again and decided that he had nothing better to do than go look for her.
He walked towards the field where the flowers grew and stepped onto the field, it was calm and peaceful as he started walking he felt more relaxed, he walked deeper until there were a few trees and stopped as he saw something move.
Quickly he hid behind a tree and peeked to see what it was.
He was surprised to see X-23, smelling some flowers with a peaceful, smiling expression and a blush visible on her cheeks.
Dante himself blushed and accidentally stepped on some bark.
X-23's POV
She was in the middle of smelling flowers when she heard a snap and quickly extracted her claws, she heard the sound coming from the trees in front of her.
She braced herself and snuck up on whatever was hidden in the darkness.
She creeped up and heard a soft rustle but she had amazing hearing and quickly rushed behind the tree and pinned the figure to the tree with her claws pointed at it.
"D-Dante?" She stuttered with wide eyes.
"X-23...relax, it's just me." He put his arms up and looked down at her.
She slowly released him and said she was sorry.
"Hey its ok, happens all the time to me!" Dante grinned but saw her confused face.
"What are you doing here?" She asked straightforwardly and backed up a bit.
He noticed and scowled a little, was she scared of him?
"I wanted to ask you if you wanted to hang but you left already so I came to look for you." He smiled warmly as if she was a pizza without olives.
"Ok..." She said and sighed deeply.
"So do you wanna hang out?" He asked anyways.
She looked at him confusedly at first but then nodded.
He smiled widely and started to walk towards the middle of the field with her.
"Why are we here, you said you wanted to hang out...?" She asked and narrowed her green eyes.
"I wanna do what you did." He said softly.
He bent down and picked up a grapefruit pink flower and smelled it, he stood up to face her, smiled and tilted his head as he gestured for her to take the flower.
With a light blush on her cheeks she took the flower and smelt it, it smelt so soft and beautiful that she was getting lost in its aroma.
Little did she know that a blush was forming on his cheeks too, that's when he had a cliche' yet awesome idea.
He took the flower slowly from her hands and placed it in her hair and smiled slightly, she looked up at him with a small gasp escaping her lips.
He then cringed, he backed away and soon started to walk away with that big blush on his face, leaving a confused X-23 to stare at his figure.
